Mohammadpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh
it was an experiment..... just wanted to see how difficult it may be to shoot a product against a complete white backdrop....... I've never shot such things, so it was a challenge...... wrist-watches became my subjects..... I had several considerations...... first, I knew I had to use a tele to flatten perspective and to bring the background to a minimum..... but when I put the 70-210 on my camera, I straightaway knew that I needed a macro to do this..... close focus was the second key thing I discovered...... I put on the Sigma 150mm macro and things began to improve...... I had to go as close as 1.75ft of the subject to get a decent crop...... third, I found that I needed another light source coming from the back to blow the surface into complete white..... so, I ended up with three flashes; two with shoot-through umbrellas and one with a home-made diffuser...... the settings apparently worked.....
